Excellent

Unfortunately there was a wedding at the property, the dining area was very loud and overrun with wedding guests. We were put in a room right next to the venue and the music was blaring out till midnight - not great when you were up at 6am to travel to The Forest of Dean and then can’t sleep till after the wedding has finished. Very disappointing and now I am very tired for my drive home!!
Parts of the hotel are looking tired. Room had not been properly dusted (dust and cobwebs present). Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was very good.

Room was very small and run down. needed a clean and a good paint .
Steeped in history.
Bang smack in the Forest of Dean & very doggy friendly.
The history needs to remain in the hotel bar & restaurant but the bedrooms & bathrooms certainly need to be updated.
Menu mediocre but sufficient for visiting but you wouldn’t book a table & go out of your way to eat there.
Nice hotel, nice setting ( take an eye mask,light getting in room at night, that’s the trouble with curtain poles and curtains with eyelet holes)
Lovely breakfast very filling so much choice
The attention to detail, both with the helpfulness of the staff and the restoration of such a classic historical building.
As the four poster bed was so high, there was even a stool provided to help you climb in.
The room felt of its period in every way, but the bathroom was fully up to date.

Appealing Restuarant
The Resturant food was very good indeed. We had a delightful evening meal with attractively priced wine. The ‘four poster’ room was large and well equipped. Just missing water and dressing gowns.
Pleasant and helpful staff. Courtyard rooms compact, but enough room for our stay, with comfy beds. Be aware all courtyard rooms are dog friendly. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice.
